Hi Jason,
Sometimes RS say things work, just to make us shut up, unfortunately.
Ruslan posted a hack, a while back.
I have NO idea why it works on MacOS9 magically, but on OSX it doesn't.
In fact, I'm surprised that debugging external apps works at all in
OS9, but I'm not complaining ;o)
I suppose, if you froze RB inbetween it compiling the .debug app, and
launching it, you could use Ruslan's hack.
How to freeze RB though? Its possible using some utilities or command
line tools. It's not very friendly, though!
James Milne mentioned XCode, but he also said he can't debug the
external app as a plugin...
I think RS should tell us their secret. Do they have a special "freeze
RB" feature they aren't telling us about?
Welcome to the fun. Well a few have posted steps to do this, but I
still have
not managed to reproduce it. In either CW or XCode. RS says CW 8.3
works fine
for them, as do a few others, but on three machines, it doesn't do any
more
than you report in your post. The discussions keep dying so either no
one is
developing plugins in OS X or the process has become a trade secret
that no one
wants to discuss or share. If you search the last month or so (of
this list)
you should find the reported steps to try for XCode, possibly a
reiteration of
CW debugging as well. Most reference CW 8.3 and I have not heard
anything
concrete reported with 9.3 (which I would buy in a heartbeat if I knew
it made
it all work like it used to under OS 9). Good luck, hopefully you'll
get
farther than I have...
